"I brought my Tesla Model X Plaid here to get full front PPF and tinting. Jesus and his team did a fabulous job despite the car being 2 years old and never had PPF. He made sure the car was polished and deteriorated before applying the film. They definitely put hard work and effort into turning the car into even more beauty! Also the pricing is phenomenal! I got quoted from other shops but definitely got the best deal here at Paint Advancement! I highly recommend this shop!"

Window Tinting Laws in California

Front Windshield:Non-reflective tint above AS-1 line

Front Side Windows:Must allow 70% of light to pass through

Back Side Windows:Must allow 35% of light to pass through

Rear Window:Must allow 35% of light to pass through

California's strict car window tinting laws require front side windows to have at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), keeping them relatively clear. Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches. California prohibits red, amber, and blue tinting, and reflectivity cannot exceed standard window levels. Dual side mirrors are required with tinted back windows. Professional window tinting services ensure compliance while providing heat rejection for California's sunny climate.

Please note that window tinting laws may change. Always verify current regulations with your automotive window tinting provider to ensure compliance.

How much does car window tinting cost?

California car window tinting prices range from $200-$500 for full-vehicle service, reflecting the state's strict compliance requirements. Standard window tint cost for cars typically runs $200-$300, while premium ceramic or IR films cost $350-$500. Front side windows, which must meet the state's 70% VLT requirement, average $60-$90 per window. The average cost to tint car windows in major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco tends to be 10-20% higher than in suburban areas. SUVs and larger vehicles add $50-$100 to the total. Many professional car window tinting services in California include certification of legal compliance.
